Cool and Really Cool Flights 3
 
Over four years, traveling coast to coast to bring you the best. Cool flights of small to the very large rockets. Fast flights, high flights to over 100K feet, complex rocket flights of three stages. Then there are the Really Cool flights, the ones that didn't work. Pound for pound this DVD has tons, with over four hours of video to show the errors of their ways. In high-def you can almost taste the dust, smell the AP, and feel the warmth from the hot sun. You've heard of these flights now all in one DVD which you have a front row seat, so hang on.

BALLS 20
September 30- October 2, 2011
 
Since 2006, altitudes at BALLS crept steadily higher. But 2011 saw a dramatic increase in high-altitude attempts, particularly in the number of flyers who were trying to attain at least 100,000 feet above the desert floor. And they reached for that altitude, and even higher, in several different types of rockets, from single stage traditional missiles, to two-stage rockets, boosted darts, and hybrids—there was even a three-stage attempt before the weekend was out.

LDRS XXX
September 1-6, 2011
 
LDRS 30 brought in fliers from 29 different states and three different countries. Some of the fliers arrived days before the event to get the best camping or rocket pit spots. The truth is there isn't a bad seat in the house when you witness a launch in the Rocket pasture. The KLOUDBusters maintain safe distances which allow any set of pads to be launched from while others are loading. From a vantage point of a flat bed trailer located on the highest knoll of Rick Nafziger's farm, the LCO can easily scan the entire 40 acre launch range.

NXRS 2011
July 1-3, 2011
 
The Northwest provides a haven for some of rocketry’s heavy hitters. It is in their off the beaten path launch locations where these facilitators of flight practice their craft. Have no doubt; this is high waiver and big motor country. The Northwest is where many of big rocket fliers who migrate annually to the Black Rock Desert cut their research teeth. They hone their motor making and rocket flying skills in seclusion to the east of Cascade Mountain range in a place where true rocketeers make full use of the 43,000 foot FAA waiver. The place is called Brothers and the launch is called the Northwest Xtreme Rocket Show or NXRS.

NERRF 7
June 24-26, 2011
 
The Northeast Regional Rocketry Festival, better known as NERRF lived up to its name as preeminent regional summer launch in the Northeast and maintaining a festival like atmosphere. The epicenter of activity was located on the massive METRA launch site in Pine Island, New York. NERRF 7 sent rockets screaming skyward for three days of continuous launching, under the Indy Format, where commercial rocket motors peacefully coexist with research rocket motors. Over 550 rockets from 1/4A’s to M powered Sod Shakers were blasted into warm, still skies officially opening the Northeast summer season.

Steve Eves - Vern Hoag
Saturn 1b

April, 2011
 
Two years of dreaming and planning had come down to this: launch day. While the conditions were anything but optimal, they were manageable. Both Vern and Steve expressed their willingness to prep the rockets and watch the wind conditions, as the mrning turned into afternoon. The MDRA launch organizers and the Higgs bothers concurred. By 10:00A.M. launch preparations were in full gear. Both twenty-foot tall towers were within fifty yards of each other and would provide a rocketryvista never before seen: two 800-pound 24-foot tall museum-quality Saturn 1Bs ready to be launched.

ARG 8 / Battle Park 2011
February, 2011
 
ARG is an event put on by the Arizona High Power Rocketry Association, AHPRA, headed up by Mark Clark and TRA BOD member Robin Meredith. Waysie Atkins is an integral part of the launch and shares the LCO duties with Robin. Jack Garibaldi was out onsite with What's Up Hobbies to cater to every rocketry need a flier could imagine with his fifty-foot store on wheels.
 
Battle Park launch site in Culpeper, Virginia returning to its former glory as a Mid-Atlantic epicenter of rocketry activity. Battle Park hosted the Federation of Galaxy Explorers, Battle of the Rockets Competition. The AIAA jumped onboard the educational competition bandwagon and sponsored an exciting high powered egg lofting challenge. All of the competition flights took place during a three day high powered rocket launch in the rolling hills of Virginia.

In the fall of 2010, Red Glare IX went pink with support of the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Breast cancer is an insidious disease that has touched many, directly and indirectly. The members of MDRA supported this effort early on through generous donations in a touch economy and by enhancing awareness with fleets of pink rockets and T-Shirts.

BALLS 19
September 24-26, 2010
 
Over 300 people had pre-registered to attend 2010's reunion of rocketry's biggest and best, in the Black Rock Desert. The need to return to the Black Rock Desert year after year goes well beyond an obsession. For many rocketeers it seems their genetic makeup has changed after their first visit. The decision to return is no longer something conscious or cognitive. The decision to return becomes instinctual, as natural as eating or breathing. Each year inflicted rocketeers return to the Desert. They return to push the boundaries of the hobby beyond the established extremes; in one of the few places on the planet forgiving enough to support a "BALLS Project".

ThunderStruck 2010
April 10-11, 2010
 
ThunderStruck 2010 was Tripoli Indiana's first journey into the uncharted territory of running a regional launch. The launch site as Ash Grove near West Lafayette is big, LDRS-capable big. The launch took place during the weekend of April 10 and 11, 2010. The launch site is a working farm where the remnants of the last corn crop were clearly evident, with over a thousand acres still covered in dry, brown corn stalks. The corn was scheduled to be disked under to make way for this year's crop of soybeans, but Mother Nature made sure the ground stayed wet and muddy right up until the launch window opened.

LDRS 29
June 10-15, 2010
 
ROC President Wedge Oldham, a veteran of many LDRS and Balls Launches, had steered the ship intro safe harbors after what could be considered a stressful week. Wedge led his teams through wind storms, dumpster fires, the Discovery Science Channel controlling the pace of the launch and too many special requests to count.
Like all LDRS launches, there were challenges. The key is how prepared you are to meet those challenges. There are very few clubs in the country that will stand up and put on an event of this magnitude. It isn't for lack of launch and recovery area. There are many locations around the country where an LDRS could be supported. It Requires the sheer willingness and most important the confidence to sponsor an LDRS. Wedge Oldham and the entire team at ROC stood up to be counted as some of the few who take on the task so others could benefit. Wedge Oldham, Melinda Oldham, john Van Norman, Veni Van Norman, Rick Dickinson, Rick McGee, Ian Walberg, Rick O'Neil and Greg Lyzenga are to be applauded for their efforts. LDRS 29 was all about the rockets, and that made it an unparalleled success by any standard.

Phoenix Missile Works 2010
March 27-28, 2010
 
The weather was cold, by Alabama standards, 50 degrees with brisk winds out of the east. Everyone had their job to do, and the range was quickly and efficiently set up with low-power, mid-power, high-power, and away cells placed, wired, and ready to rock. Bob Haas, the PMW Club President, Pad Manager, and Multi-Tasking Maniac, gave the morning safety address, the weather report, and the authorization for flying Skid Mark motors. Hope Hicks gave the attending crowd an update on recent Tripoli news, confirming that the 23,000-foot AGL waiver had been called into the FAA by her husband, Carl Hicks, and with that, the launch was announced open.

October 2-4, 2009
 
The morning light cast long shadows as the sun climbed behind the eastern mountains. The sky was clear, and winds were light to nonexistent. Rumors were spreading this would be the only good day to fly. The remainder of the weekend was forecast to progressively deteriorate. Fliers were starting to prep their projects in earnest, as all the major fliers wanted to get in the air while the getting was still good.

Freedom 2009
August Rush 2009

 
Tripoli South Carolina has been the site of many memorable lanuches, including LDRS 15 and LDRS 19, as well as the National Sport Launch in 2008. The rumor of something big coming to ICBM in Orangeburg, South Carolina, started around January 2009. Burl Finkelstein and Matt Butler had stumbled across an irresistible artifact, and it had big project written all over it.
 
VAST gets its name and launches from a secluded valley in the rolling foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of the unique aspexts of the surrounding hills is the option to climb them and watch the launch from hundreds of feet above the flight line. From this vantage point, you can watch the rocket fly up past you and witness motor burnouts or recoveries, up close and personal.

The waiver had been called in and the launch system was ready to rock. Fliers and spectators were slowly making their way onto the field as the first rockets were launched. Some folks made it directly to their designated parking spaces while others were hopelessly buried up to their axels in the access road mud.

The launch known as Balls is synonymous with pushing the limits and testing your mettle. It is the once a year gathering of rocketry's heavy hitters where reputations, bank accounts, and incredible flying machines are laid on the line. To coin a phrase used extensively in the gambling industry, these fliers are "all in." The difference is that they are not gambling with their flights. The projects that fly at Balls are some of the best-thought-out and best-constructed rockets to fly in any given year. Many of these rockets are designed specifically for being launched in the Black Rock Desert. Combining Balls 17 and Mavericks 2008 in one 3 DVD set; 3 hours of video; 4000+ digital photos set to music. Dolby 5.1 Digital Surround Sound.

One of the best kept secrets in rocketry is the launch site in Brothers, Oregon. The secluded location is perfect for high-power action that screams into the clear blue skies. You are truly committed to the hobby when you launch rockets with the Oregon Rocketry folks. One of the first questions a newcomer would ask is "How much recovery room do you have here?" Inevitably, the answer always comes back as another question, "How much do you need?"

Clad in dark blue polo shirts, cargo pants and black sunglasses, with matching hats bearing the ATF logo, the agents carefully pondered the rocket and questioned the man who claimed it was his. This was the first time any of these federal agents had been to an amateur rocket launch. And what would happen next is anyone's guess.

The Florida Winter Nationals sponsored by Tripoli West Palm and the Florida Space Modeling Association exemplifies "from tiny acorns, grow mighty oaks."

They held that first launch in 2004, and over the four years that followed, the core of TWP, Al Bychek, Rick Boyette, and Charlie Loveday, learned lots of things about holding a big launch. THe most important lesson they learned was, to coin another phrase, "hold it and they will fly." And fly they did, 248 times.

With a standing 34,500 foot waiver and windows to 50,000 feet, A.I.R.Fest is one of the few launches where you can fly high and easily recover your project on miles of open empty, tree-less farm land.
A.I.R.Fest 13 is a glimpse through the keyhole of what you can expect to witness at LDRS 27. Over 600 flights left the ground during this warm-up launch. You'll be glued to your seat watching the action as massive clusters, supersonic flights, incredible shreds, full rack drag races, research day mayhem and the awesome P-motor powered Mercury Redstone Project light up your screen. After viewing A.I.R.Fest 13, you will realize that you're not in Kansas anymore, but need to get back to the Rocket Pasture that will again host LDRS 27 for the biggest rocket launch of the year.

FITS 2007
May 26-27, 2007
 
Memorial Day weekend means many things to folks across the country. To most it gives us a space in time to think about and thank our service men and women, past and present, for their sacrifices. It is the state of the summer season, a time to shake off the last chills of a long winter. This is especially true in the Northwest town of Mansfield, Washington. It also means that for three days the Mansfield will be looking up, literally. This is the weekend that Fire in the Sky, better known as FITS, has come to town.

ARG-4
February 24-25, 2007
 
The fourth annual ARG launch, held this year at Rainbow Valley Arizona, is solidifying its place in rocket-launching circles as the place to be in late February.The spacious field is surrounded by the McDowell Mountains to the northeast, the White Tank Mountains to the west, the Superstition Mountains far to the east, and the Sierra Estrella to the southwest. The flying and recovery field feels like a billion acres of space. This has to be one of the larger launch sites in the country.

With nearly four hundred rockets taking to the sky in barely two days, A through O power, it was like a mini-LDRS.
